That complicates it actually. For a lot of forms it is far more
semantically correct to use multiple table rows. If you need to use
FIELDSET with 'display:table-row' and some other CSS tricks which will
not even work because you can not style FIELDSET properly this feature
can better be dropped.

However, the feature is very useful and having an attribute that applies
to multiple elements is not that bad and can actually be quite useful to
achieve semantically correct results.
